UCSF PITCH Program (Program for Investigation and Training in Careers in Health)

Description

Each summer, UCSF's Early Academic Outreach Program (EAOP) sponsors a free summer program for high school students in San Francisco School Unified School District.

PITCH is an opportunity for incoming high school juniors, particularly those who may be the first in their families to pursue a four-year college degree, to spend three weeks at UCSF, exploring careers in healthcare, and looking into the educational pathways that lead to different careers, and learning professional skills that will help them along the way.

PITCH students are mentored by current UCSF students in the Graduate Division, dental school, pharmacy school, medical school, and nursing school as they complete a group research project and receive one-on-one and small group academic advising from EAOP counselors.
